Will "Slaktarn" Be Back To Defend His Title?

Published on 2009-11-14 21:19:00

The $25,000 Heads-Up Pot Limit Omaha Championship will take place on Full Tilt Poker next weekend, with names such as Patrik Antonius and Gus Hansen expected to participate.

The tournament will begin at 15:00 ET on Saturday afternoon and then pause after playing down to the final four.

The tournament will then resume on Sunday afternoon (16:00 ET), with a champion being crowned a few hours later.

There are two ways into this event - you can either buy in directly for $25,000, or you can hope to satellite your way in. People who qualify through a satellite will not be able to unregister for the event.

A few other notes:

a) there will be first-round byes if the tournament starts without a perfect number of players

b) the tournament will be capped at 64 players

Last year's event was won by "slaktarn". "slaktarn" managed to claim the $560k first place prize after defeating Patrik Antonius in the finals.

So far there are five players that have registered to play in this year's event. They are:

Andy Bloch
Erik Seidel
Gus Hansen
Patrik Antonius
